Hi Russel, Thanks for you answer. Maybe my question is lame, but how do I refer to an agent directly? My agents already contain something similar to *getAndRemoveBag()*, and it works, but the problem is method I use to get neighboring agents * sim.field.continuous.Continuous2.**getNeighborsWithinDistance<http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/docs/classdocs/sim/field/continuous/Continuous2D.html#getNeighborsWithinDistance(sim.util.Double2D, double)>* provides copy of a neighbor agent, not reference to it. Also I really like the idea of stack. If I'd try to implement it, should I create a separate stack class and schedule it from the "controller class"?
